Angelina Jolie

No doubt you will have heard on the news that Angelina Jolie has had a double mastectomy as a precaution against breast cancer. It must be sad for her, and sad a thought for anyone like me who thought "wow" when she was Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider films.

Next time I pass a tin collecting tin in aid Breast Cancer research, I'm going to chuck in a quid and say "Thanks for the mammaries", and I urge you to do the same.

We all seem to like them, so lets keep those puppies where they belong.

Indeed - my auntie had her hooters off for just such a reason- for a man its hard to realise what that must mean to a woman given that we live in a society where women are effectively told what defines their femininity. :idea:

Sadly Angelina's curves had already long since departed, replaced by skin and bone

Damn you Brad and your skinny fetish!

A pre-emptive strike against possible breast cancer, she's also on about having her ovaries removed as well.

It's great when medical science can offer people the information to be able to arrive at such conclusions and try and ensure a better chance at future good health.

But on the other hand there is years of horrid turmoil and suffering by the patient and family.
Given the choice I would do it and in fact had a selective procedure 2 years ago myself. The wifes cousin went through 18 months of heartache and in the end lost the battle, it was far from pleasant for all concerned.

Why don't men get their prostrate gland removed when they turn 60 ? It should be of no use to you by then (unless you happen to be very rich/famous and marry some 20 year old stunner).

By the time I get to 60 I hope to be with a 57 year old stunner, the one that I married when she was a 22 year old stunner. I'd quite like to be in possession of all me bits thank you very much!

But it won't stop you performing, might not even stop you having kids. It will almost certainly reduce the chances though, as all you ejaculate will be sperm.

And the other advantage will be that I don't need to have a doctor stick a finger up my arse every couple of years. (downside will that I will then have to pay someone better looking to do it :oops: )

Now thanks to you I'm picturing 60 years olds ejaculating! Grrrrr. You've put me right off my tea break banana

I thought they try and avoid removing it if possible even if you do have cancer as it's really difficult to get to and can result in nerve damage affecting your functions.

Just for the record guys, although males have orgasms post prostatectomy, no ejaculate of any kind is produced. So no possibility of fathering children I'm afraid.
In addition as has been mentioned prostatectomy carries significant risk of damage of the nerves which control the ability to achieve erections as well as damage to the valves controlling closing the bladder which can lead to some degree of urinary incontinence.
This is why no one in their right mind would consider this as a prophylactic procedure such as bilateral mastectomy.

It's also a shame that that was never real - she had to be enhanced even back then for that role.
